Will Palmer resumes Formula Renault title quest in France this weekend

Will Palmer returns to Formula Renault Eurocup action at Paul
Ricard in southern France this weekend (26-27 August), following a
short summer break. The R-ace GP driver heads to France third
overall in the standings, just two points adrift of second-places
Robert Shwartzman, right in the hunt for the title.

Will has plenty of reason to look forward to the two races at
the Le Castellet circuit, as it's the site of his maiden Formula
Renault Eurocup podium, and he's enjoyed an excellent season so far
to pick up three wins and an additional four podiums, including in
the most recent race at the Red Bull Ring.

Will remains firmly within contention for the title come the end
of the season, despite a series of unfortunate setbacks during the
last three rounds which have prevented him from showing his true
pace. Aside from results affected by car damage at the last event
and an electrical glitch two rounds previously, the Sussex driver
would have a perfect points-scoring record this year.

This weekend marks Will's second appearance at the 5.8km French
Grand Prix venue, which is best known for its long straights, and
fast sweeping corners.

The BRDC Superstar will race on both Saturday and Sunday, with
individual qualifying sessions to determine the starting positions
for each race. This weekend marks the beginning of the final title
run-in comprising these two races, and triple-header rounds at
Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium and the Circuit de Catalunya in
Spain.
